When we started Formidable Forms, we managed our own servers. As our company grew, we switched to a very popular managed WordPress host and spent nearly as much time dealing with server issues without the ability to fix them ourselves. Finally, we found Pagely. Now we focus on what we love: development and improving our customer experience. Having a hosting partner that pays attention to our individual needs has made a huge difference. We love Pagely, and you will too.

WP Hosting Made For You

The needs of your organization are unique, and are ill-suited to the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach offered by other managed hosting service providers.

"
Everything was right about Pagely. We knew the team would do a good job, and the service fulfilled all the right criteria. All in all, we've been incredibly happy with our decision. The Pagely team has exceeded our expectations and we're looking forward to continuing our relationship with their team.
"

"Knowing that the Pagely team is there for us 24/7 has been invaluable, not to mention the reliability and visibility they provide. These have been extremely important factors in helping us meet our marketing needs for NGINX.com."

"
We've had a great experience working with Pagely. Anytime we've had issues or concerns, they've been addressed. We have a very defined and focused mission of how and when our WordPress applications that are being delivered by WordPress. It has been a great vendor-client relationship. We have very specific and defined goals that we're looking to deliver with WordPress on our Pagely platform. Pagely has done an excellent job hitting that sweet spot for us and delivering these products to our end users with the performance, the up-time, and the security goals we seek in an affordable manner.
"

"
When people ask me what about Pagely makes it worthwhile, it's that scalability; a lot of businesses can't afford to pay for a larger server on an ongoing basis, especially if they don't really need it. On top of the functionality, everyone we've worked with at Pagely has been on top of things. Their support staff is very professional and never dismissive, and even when your problem isn't something that they can fix they take the time to tell you what your developer needs to check on.
"

"The most important reason that we, as a city, are paying Pagely is that they free up our time. We now spend that time building things for the constituents of Boston, instead of maintaining WordPress."

For the most demanding applications and clientele, we present the most comprehensive and powerful managed WordPress solution to date.

From rock-solid stability, blazing fast performance, to their stellar support, Pagely is an easy recommendation for our clients. The built-in security, caching and CDN are features every client wants and many hosts leave out. We've tried nearly every host out there, and Pagely is the one that continues to impress.

This book points out the tragic situation of so many today. They think they are on their way to Heaven; but, they are not; as, they have not heard the clear Gospel of Grace. They are victims of those who preach a message of salvation mixed with human effort, and their ultimate end will be the Lake of Fire! Unless someone reaches them with the truth, they will hear the devastating words, "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:" (Matthew 25:41). That is the message of this book. Bowen documents the so-called "salvation" messages of some of the "great" pastors and evangelists of today, which do not give eternal life. He compares them to the message of Christ, which does give eternal life. He makes his comparisons respectfully, considering that these pastors and evangelists are just as deceived by Satan, the Father of Lies, as are their followers by the message they preach. Here is the list of individuals he gives "The Plan of Salvation According to": Joel Osteen, Charles Stanley, Pat Robertson, Rick Warren, John Hagee, Beth Moore, James Dobson, Jimmy Swaggart, Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron; and, Franklin and Billy Graham. Read the pdf online; or, if you wish to purchase your own copy of the book, it is available from the author; or, on Amazon.com. Read the book! You won't be disappointed.

MICHAEL BOWEN holds a Master's degree in English (Technical and Professional Communication) from East Carolina University. He is currently teaching college-level English composition at a community college and operates an IBM AS400 computer at a local hospital. He enjoys astronomy, martial arts, and reading.

Good job on the course so far. I just wanted to point out a little ‘bug’. I think that the link for web-storm description has changed from (doesn’t work) to . It’ s not that hard to find the correct one, but would be nice if you changed it here as well.

@Martins

Hello, this is Paul running 2oahu.com.

The ‘bug’ is actually my fault, not R. Bovell. When R. Bovell first wrote about my 2oahu.com blog, I was using WordPress and I kept everything under blog/. However I recently decided to ditch WordPress and went for Pelican and in the process switched around the urls. I did include html forwards in the new site for more popular pages but my deployment script for deploying the html files didn’t know about the html forwards.

I’ve updated my deployment script to make sure the html forwarders are included.

Sorry about that Richard.

Hi Richard, I’m trying to work through the tutorial and made it already to week 5-6. But I’m having a bit problems implementing the changes. Questions: Is there any possibility for code review? e.g. somebody looking through the code and suggesting how to do things “better”. Also, do you have any suggestions for keeping a better structure? I’m trying to stuff things into functions to keep somewhat the different effects seperated, but is there any recommended way of doing this? Thanks so much for this great roadmap!

Thanks for your questions, Peter, and sorry about the late reply. There is a study group on Twitter that would be very happy to help you out with the code by reviewing your code and answering all of your questions.

The group members, especially the organizer, are very helpful and they have been helping out each for weeks now. Here is the link:

Its such as you read my mind! You appear to grasp so much about this, like you wrote the guide in it or something. I feel that you just can do with a few % to force the message home a bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.

I was wondering– what’s the difference between Ruby Mine and Webstorm? They are both by jetbrains but Ruby Mine seems to include a few more features than Webstorm.

What would you recommend?

Hey Richard, I was wondering on my journey to learning javascript, should I also learn php/msql to create data driven as well as CMS web apps? Where a user has complete control in the backend (admin settings etc)…Or Should I learn node.js for this, I thought node.js is mainly for server side driven apps ( chat apps etc.) Thanks!

This is an interesting question, Sean. If you want to know (and you should) how to develop general websites, customize CMS and blogs, and the like, it makes sense to learn PHP/MySQL. Many huge web apps are built with PHP, so it is worth knowing. But you should still Node.js or at least Meteor.js.

Hello !

Thank you so much for this helpful post. I’m just wondering how many hours per week you had in mind in your estimate?

Is it full-time study or more like 2,3h/day?

I just would like to know the pace I’m about to face!

Thanks again, – Vincent

I would say about 10 to 20 hours a week would be good. Or try for at least 2 hours every day.

Our plugin development capabilities include creating plugins to support third-party integrations, interact with external platform APIs, extend ecommerce platforms such as WooCommerce, and develop unique content generation and export paths.

WordPress theme development

As the presentation layer of your website, the WordPress theme is arguably the most important component and delivery mechanism of your brand. We understand the importance of a website that performs well, provides an exceptional user experience, and delivers your message effectively to prospects and customers alike. For these reasons and more Crowd Favorite specializes in developing custom, performant, and extensible WordPress themes.

Custom WordPress integrations

Our clients typically require sites that go beyond simple marketing content, and that integrate with their existing infrastructure (often involving legacy systems). We’ll work with you closely to define the requirements of your project and develop a solution specifically for your needs.

WordPress as an application framework

We know that WordPress isn’t a “silver bullet” for every problem. Sometimes, it’s only part of the solution. Sometimes, it’s not helpful to the core problem at all. We make every effort to dig into your project requirements and propose an appropriate response. When solutions beyond WordPress are needed – either in addition to, or instead of WordPress – our capable team is ready to build those, as well.

WordPress content migration

We have deep expertise with migrating content into and out of WordPress, even when this involves significant differences in data structures or formats. We’ll work with your team to design and develop a solution that makes it as easy as possible for you to get your content into WordPress from external or legacy systems, and (if needed) get it back out again and into others parts of your systems.

We wish to empower our clients with the knowledge to effortlessly customize and update their site. To that end, we offer our clients several training options, including virtual or in-person training, guided video walkthroughs, and written documentation.

WordPress maintenance, updates, and enhancements

Our ongoing client services (OCS) team is dedicated to delivering post-launch support for our clients, according to their level of need. OCS takes a proactive approach and, having extensive experience with WordPress, can be counted on to stay on top of site maintenance and enhancements, such as plugin updates, testing and implementing new features, and identifying ways to optimize site performance.
